who we are

We are not a building or a weekend activity, but a people. It takes a lot of volunteers to sustain the weekly routines of Church of Christ Springfield. We are a family, and like family, we all pitch in.

Kids Ministry

They may be small, but they are mighty! During the Sunday Service we excuse the children to their class so they can learn about God. Every week there is a story, snack, and a craft for them to make!

Teen Ministry

As they are gearing up for becoming new adults, these fabulous young people study the Word under the tutelage of the adults they look up to! 

Young Professionals

The Young Professionals (or YoPros) are a group of single young adults. They meet up on Tuesdays and Fridays to study the Word together and build relationships. 

Marrieds

Married couples that help nurture the future generation and encourage one another in the Lord.
